Gables Programs

by HELEN REYNOLDS They're called "Ma and Pop" from the University president to the janitor, and they do everything for the cadets, (150 British, 50 American) from making up their beds to wiping away their tears of homesickness. "They" are Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Koch of the University of Miami, "with no particular title," says the distinguished-looking Mrs. Koch. Yet their title could be anything in authority, for they reign supreme at the "barracks." The barracks is just what the former swank San Sebastian Hotel (until recently the University's administration building) is now. Gone are all reminders of a gay, carefree certain clique of annual wintertime guests who, in tropical sports and pretty dresses, trod the long corridors. Now those same corridors resound to the patter of somber black shod feet and reflect the grays, blues and feather-olive of many uniformed men. Where hand-carved box-springed beds once stood in private apartments, now seven or eight army cots are arranged with with the former little kitchenette (one bed) serving as a study. Dormitory afflictions have been turned into four-cot rooms. The cots are all brand new, equipped with comfortable springs and mattresses. Mrs. Koch is well qualified for her new responsibility. A responsibility that fits her like a glove, for during World War Number One, she was field director for over 1,000 soldiers in Texas for the Red Cross, and had the rank of major. Now "Ma" can tell when a soldier boy is really homesick, can pat him on the back, buy presents for his sweetheart or mother "over there," and just as firmly tell him to "take his feet off that chair" if necessary. Tomorrow the present 200 or so will receive their diplomas of graduation and after the new batch (expected the middle of next week) is safely "tucked in" Ma and Pop will be off to their cottage at Banner Elk, N. C., for a month's much-needed rest. * * * Mrs. Thomas Mayes and children, Marilyn and Tommy, left Monday for Bloomington, Ill. and a visit with relatives. In about two weeks Commissioner Mayes will leave for Tennessee and will be joined there by his family for the return trip to Coral Gables . . . Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Westerdahl will leave this week for a month's stay at Gull Lake, Mich. Mrs. Westerdahl and three daughters recently returned from a month's stay in Virginia. * * * Mr. and Mrs. Arch Cassidy, 1124 Avenue Valencia, and their children have returned from a visit in Highcrest, N. C. Also home from Highlands and Waynesville are Mr. and Mrs. Frank Holley, Jr. . . . Dr. and Mrs. Ralph Engle write from the "Minnehalla," their cottage in the Pennsylvania mountains, "We are four miles ahead of the hemlocks and cedars, eating delicious corn and tomatoes." * * * Mrs. Charlotte Cranford, who makes her home with her father, Col. P. J. O'Shaughnessy and Mrs. O'Shaughnessy, has moved their household effects from the Chinese Village to their recently constructed new home on the corner of Riviera Drive and Toledo Street. Col. and Mrs. O'Shaughnessy are still in Franklin, N. C. . . . Mr. and Mrs. Robert Chilton, formerly of the Venetia, have leased the Stanley L. McCaddon home at 2806 Granada Boulevard for a year. Mr. and Mrs. McCaddon and their daughter, who graduated from Exmoor School this last May, will travel. * * * It isn't often romance enters into the decision of where a family shall live after 13 years married. But romance did decide in the case of Mr. and Mrs. George Stamos, who recently came here from New Orleans and bought the two-story Spanish type home at 1040 Avenue Almeria. The Stamoses came to Miami to be married 13 years ago, because they had met romantically in Miami while vacationing about a year before. They lived for a number of years in their native New York and New York, then 5 years in New Orleans. Mr. Stamos, who is in the wholesale household goods business, and Mrs. Stamos have three attractive children, Bobby, nine; Marilyn, eight, and Dennis, a year and a half. They have as their house guest Mrs. Stamos' sister, Mrs. Eleanor F. Goodman of New York. * * * When Mr. and Mrs. Hoomes Rich left a year ago for Puerto Rico, it was to be for a year only. Mr. Rich was sent down to superintend the construction of some docks for navy defense purposes. And, as the and the way it is, the Riches will be in Puerto Rico indefinitely—have just arrived to make some disposition of their home at Cabrera Circle, which they left in the hands of friends. Mrs. Rich, who never missed a Friday's golf day at the Country Club of Coral Gables during the women's summer tournament days, and who has made some interesting friends at the West Indies Island, plays golf with the Gonzaleses, kinfolk of the Robert Schneiders of Alhambra Circle—expects to look up Mrs. Rita Parmelee, formerly of Coral Gables, who now manages an attractive hotel high up in the Puerto Rico mountains. In fact, Mrs. R. W. Harrison of 1235 Alhambra Circle has received word from a visit with her sister and mother on the island and is high in her praise of the marvelous view to be had from Mrs. Parmelee's hotel. * * * By the telephone route we learn that Coral Gables has two confirmed loiterers, Mrs. J. B. Irwin and Mrs. Maude Preston Doughty. Both have just returned from an extended trip to California, the Western States and Canada, and both said, "Coral Gables looked the best." Mrs. Irwin visited her twin daughter, and their families, Mrs. Howard Stivers of Hollywood and Mrs. C. G. MacDonald of Long Beach. Mrs. Doughty joined a train cruise at Chicago, for an all-sightseeing trip, and in Santa Monica had the fun and thrill of riding on a private line sightseeing bus with the famous movie star, Miss Irene Dunne. Mrs. Irwin spent some time at Mapledel Ranch, high in the Utah Mountains—summer home of the MacDonalds, met Mr. Irwin and their son, Jimmy, who motored out to Seymour, Ind., for the return trip. * * * A fruit cake encased in tin and iced all over as part of the cake itself, formed the top layer of the wedding cake of Lieut. and Mrs. James Robb Hasencamp and was quite the center of attraction when the bride cut her cake at the reception. The fruit cake is to be opened on the first anniversary of the couple. Interesting note in the wedding Friday was that Mrs. Hasencamp was the last of the trio of Atkinson girls to be married in as many years. The Rev. Daniel Iverson read the services for all three weddings and "Yrene" made the three wedding dresses. Coincidental with the Hasencamp-Atkinson reception was the fact that it was performed on the 26th wedding anniversary of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Atkinson.
